Must read

THE A-List turned out in force for Dior’s Scottish fashion show with Jennifer Lawrence, Lily Collins and Anya Taylor-Joy leading the fashion pack.

On Monday evening, the legendary French fashion house showed their 2025 Cruise collection in the gardens of Drummond Castle near Crieff in a starry event, which included Good Will Hunting star Minnie Driver and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams in the front row.

Emily in Paris actor Lily Collins, who had been holidaying in Scotland with husband Charlie McDowell, chatted animatedly to The Queen’s Gambit star Anya while Spice Girl Geri Halliwell looked picture perfect in her trademark white.




Ahead of the show, celebrities gathered at Gleneagles hotel where they enjoyed champagne and nibbles in celebration of the French fashion house’s return to the country for the first time since 1955 – when Christian Dior took his show to the luxury hotel in Auchterarder.

Dior’s collection, by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri included collaborations with Harris Tweed, Johnstons of Elgin, Esk Cashmere and Robert Mackie who have made traditional ceremonial headwear worn by regiments and pipe bands.

Guests were given Dior limited edition blankets, featuring images of the 1955 collection which was previously shown in Scotland, to keep them warm in the cold night air as they were led though the castle grounds to the gardens below via a circle of giant steps.

Pipes welcomed the first models to the natural catwalk as kilted creations were paraded as a constant stream of Dior models walked by. Chains, PVC, lace, tweed and more was on show as the soundtrack to an electro-orchestral symphony of songs including Eurythmics Sweet Dreams.

Maisie and Jennifer seemed to get the animal print memo while tennis ace Emma Raducanu served up a stunning look in a cream, belted mini dress.
